House of Purple Cedar by Tim Tingle
4.0
Though I have seen this tagged as both adult and young adult, I would have to choose the adult designation. The story is about Rose and she relates events that happened during her childhood and young adult life, but the story centered around her grandfather and other adults in their community. I think it does have crossover potential though.
Tim Tingle is a fantastic storyteller and brought me into the lives of Rose and her family. There were some harsh situations, but there is also a lot of love and some humor too. The primary issues that come to light are racism and domestic violence. The overarching theme though is one of family and love of many kinds.
